Dear...

Dear Toot and Smiley,
I understand that watching me clean must be the fun to watch but can you do me one tiny favor? We have company coming tomorrow so if you could just lay off on messing everything up for the next 30 hours, I would be so grateful. It's not that I don't enjoy cleaning up after you, I just have a lot of other stuff to do right now. If you do this for me, I might just go buy you something at the store. But, if that is not good enough, could ya at least pick up your messes yourself?

The woman who is tired of picking up after you,
Mama

Dear God,
If you read the above letter you will see that I have company coming tomorrow. I know you get lots of requests for things but what I want is really just something small. I see in the forecast that it is suppose to rain all weekend (just like it is right now). I had plans to go to the lake this Saturday and would LOVE it if you could just hold off the rain on that day. I'm not asking for all the days to be sunny, just Saturday. We have had tons of rain lately so I don't see where it would hurt anything. If you wont make this happen, I totally understand but it would be nice for Carrin to get to see what all we do down here without the rain.

The woman praying for a little sun,
April

Dear Benny,
Thank you so much for being you. I really love you more than I thought humanly possible. Thank you for running all my errands this week (without bitching) so I could stay home and get the house ready. You really are the best husband I could have asked for.

The woman that loves you with all her heart,
Me

Dear Carrin,
I am so excited for you to come down this weekend. I know you have been so busy and have a lot on your plate so I am glad you can get away from it all to visit me. I am sure even if the kids keep messing up the house and God wont stop the rain, we will still have a blast. As with everything else in my life, we will just play it all by ear and just do whatever comes up. I just hope it doesn't rain so bad that we are stuck at the house. I would love to be able to show you how great Texas is. Also, if you get delayed in Dallas, there is a TGIF close to the gates that fly out to Longview and their cranberry margaritas are awesome. Hope your flights go good.

The woman that is so ready for tomorrow,
April
